Before the Meeting Starts
Food puzzles and enrichment feeders for a supervised activity break before your call. Choose the right size and difficulty, and start with food your dog already tolerates.
A treat puzzle with sliders and flippers for a supervised activity before your next call. Start with an easy setup so your dog learns how to find the food, and put the puzzle away if it becomes a chew toy.
Square Puzzle Dog Toy - 2" - Boots & Barkley™
A beginner-style treat puzzle to compare if your dog is new to food games. Practice together before using it during a work break, and supervise removable pieces so finding snacks does not turn into chewing the puzzle.
Outward Hound Nina Ottosson Smart Treat Despensing Brain & Exercise Dog Toys
A refillable rubber toy for a food-based activity you can prepare before work. Choose the right size and rubber strength, use suitable fillings and supervise while you learn how your dog handles it.
KONG Refillable Classic Chew Dog Toy - Red
A textured mat option for spreading a small amount of dog-safe food during a monitored break. It is a licking surface, not a chew toy; remove it if your dog starts biting pieces off.
Silicone Distraction Mat for Dogs - Gray - up&up™
A fabric feeding mat for hiding a portion of kibble and letting your dog sniff it out. Introduce it together, keep it in view and check the cleaning instructions before choosing.
ZippyPaws Snufflerz Burrito Dog Feeding Mat
An interactive fabric activity for a short play break between work tasks. Compare it with your dog’s interest in finding hidden toys, and supervise dogs that pull apart plush or swallow fabric.
Garden Burrow Mat Interactive Plush Dog Toy - Boots & Barkley™
A silicone feeding surface to compare with fabric snuffle mats when you prefer a different cleanup routine. Check how it works with your dog’s food and supervise use; choose one feeding format to start rather than buying every option.
Silicon Slow Foraging Dog Feeding Mat - Boots & Barkley™ Yellow
A more involved puzzle alternative for dogs that already understand simpler food games. Build up the challenge gradually during supervised play; this is a progression option rather than the first puzzle every dog needs.
Outward Hound Nina Ottosson Twister Interactive Brain & Exercise Dog Toys
A slow-feeding bowl option for turning a regular meal into a more deliberate food activity. Match bowl capacity and maze shape to your dog’s muzzle and meal size, and monitor the first uses.
IRIS USA 2Cup/4Cup Slow Feeder Dog Bowl for Pets
Small training treats to compare for quick reward-based practice between meetings. Check ingredients against your dog’s diet and account for treats within the day’s food allowance.
Zukes Mini Naturals Chicken Flavor Recipe Training Adult Dog Treats - 6oz
A treat pouch for keeping rewards handy during a brief training break before work. Store it out of your dog’s reach afterward and check the opening, cleaning instructions and belt attachment.
Treat Pouch with Waste Bag Dispenser - Boots & Barkley™
A small tool for a short reward-based training break before the next meeting. Pair the click with a reward and practice one familiar behavior at a time; this belongs in your between-call routine rather than during a quiet call.
Dog Training Clicker - Boots & Barkley™ - Gray
Beside Your Desk
Beds, washable layers and toy storage for a comfortable resting spot near your workspace. Check the fit for your dog and your office, then keep the activity supplies ready for the next break.
A desk-side resting spot for the part of the day when playtime is over. Measure your available floor space and your dog when stretched out before choosing a size, and compare the cleaning instructions with your normal laundry routine.
Basic Cuddler Dog and Cat Bolster Bed - Boots & Barkley™ L
A washable fleece layer to make a nearby bed or resting spot more inviting. Useful for rotating through the laundry after muddy walks; check the dimensions and avoid leaving loose fabric with a dog who chews or swallows it.
Dog Blanket - Heather Fleece - Boots & Barkley™
A dedicated bin for putting away clean enrichment toys, treat pouches and training supplies after a break. Keeping a small rotation together makes the next activity easier to set up; store it where your dog cannot raid the contents.
